Tim Peters added the comment: Guido, you're clearly talking with someone who knows too much ;-) If we're using the Twister for _anything_ related to crypto-level randomness, then I'd appalled - it was utterly unsuitable for any such purpose from day 1. But as a general-purpose generator for non-crypto uses, it remains an excellent choice, and still a nearly de facto standard for "almost all" such purposes. There are general-purpose generators I like better now, but won't push in that direction until the Twister's "nearly de facto standard" status fades. Better to be a follower than a leader in this area.
